National Lawlessness
An Issue For Whole
World
New Outline of U. S.
Policy Barely Precedes
Hitler Speech
WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.—Secre
tary Hull declared in a letter made
public Saturday night that the issue
of lawlessness versus fair play con
fronted the whole world, and that no
action could avoid a part in the re
sponsibility of determining which
should prevail.
Although not mentioning the crisis
between Germany and Czechoslovakia,
he said:
“Events in other parts of the
world have emphasized recently the
extent to which some nations have
wavered from the orderly and friend
ly relations which should prevail be
tween neighbors.”
Publication of the secretary of
state’s remarks, in a letter of accept-1
ance to Peru’s invitation to attend
the eighth Pan-American Conference}
at Lima on December 9, preceded by
only two days Adalf Hitler’s long
awaited foreign affairs speech at
Nurnburg, Germany.
Hears Kennedy’s Report
The letter of acceptance was hand
ed to the press shortly after Am i ;
can Ambassador Kennedy had cabled
Hull the report of his conversations
with Lord Halifax in London Satur
day morning. The letter was writ
ten September 2 in response to Peru’s
invitation, extended August 2.
“TJie nations of the world are fac
ed,” Hull wrote, “with the issue of
determining whether relations shall
be characterized by international an
archy and lawlessless or by principles
of fair play, justice and order under
law. wo nation and no government
can avoid the issue: Neither can any
nation avoid participation, willing or
not, in the responsibility of de
tarminiTkg whidn course of action
shall prevail.”
“ . . the grave problems confront
ing the world today afford the Amer
, icaan republics, united by a common
ideal, an opportunity to set an ex
ample to»the world through the crea
tion of new bonds of solidarity and
friendship.”
Continuing he said:
“The American nations have made
an important contribution to the
cause of world peace by the elabora
tion of an inter-American society
based upon respect for the independ
ance, sovereignty, and political
equality oi nations . .
Peaceful Neighborliness
“The program for the forthcoming
conference offers abundant opportu
nity for the American nations to con
sidei further means of guaranteeing
peaceful continental neighborly life,
and of solving the many existing im
portant questions of a political, juri
dical, and economic character.”
Secretary Hull indicated he would
appoint the American delegates later.
•He personally attended the last Pan-
American Conference at Contevideo,
Uruguay, in 1933.
Prior to publication of his letter
of acceptance, Hull had refused earl
ier Saturday to add anything to Pres
ident Roosevelt’s remarks at Hyde
Park Friday. The President had told
reporters that interpretations that
the United States was morally link
ed with European nations in a “stop
Hitler” movement were about 100
pel cent wrong.
They Vvant a Line-Up
Commenting upon the President’s
remarks, five peace organizations is
sued a statement which said in part:}
’“President Roosevelts statement
to a press conference that this coun
try is’ not aligned with any foreign
government is a wise attempt on the
pa it of the President of this country
and of the leader oi tne party in
power to reassure the American peo
ple as to the foreign policy of the
administration. But if the people are
to trust their President’s sincerity,!
they must not be misled by statements j
of officials that do not square with i
the President’s words and with their |
own convictions. The administration
must bring its recalcitrant officials
into line.”
The organizations are the Fellow
ship of Reconciliation, the Keep Am
erica Out of War Congress, the na
tional Council for the Prevention of
war, the Women’s International
League for Peace and Freedom, and
World Peaceways.

Lesson for September 18
JONATHAN: COURAGEOUS
FRIENDSHIP
LESSON TEXT—I Samuel 20:4-17.
GOLDEN TEXT—A friend loveth at aU
times.—Proverbs 17:17.
PRIMARY TOPIC—Noble Prince Jona
than. , ..
JUNIOR TOPIC—Noble Prince Jonathan.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—
The Adventure of Friendship.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—
The Cost of Being a Friend.
Without question, the most pre
cious possession any man or woman
has (apart from his fellowship with
God if he is a Christian, and the
love of his own family) is friend
ship. It is the flower that blooms
by the side of the rugged pathway
of life. Like many flowers, some
friendships need to be cultivated
and encouraged.
It has been said that the love of
a woman for another woman is a
beautiful thing, the' love of a man
for a woman an even more devoted
and precious thing, but that the
bond of love between man and man
surpasses all in its strength and
glery. Some might question such a
statement, and yet it is true that
between man and man there is
the possibility of the highest type
of friendship. David and Jonathan
stand at the head of an inspiring
list of men who loved each other
with their whole souls.
The lesson for today calls for a
careful reading of the incidents in
the life of Jonathan and David re
corded in I Samuel, chapters 14, 18,
19. and 20, as well as the first chap
ter of II Samuel. It is a story which
will richly reward a careful read
ing. Considering the printed portion
in the light of this background we
note six things that characterized
this great friendship.
I. Cultivated (v. 4).
Friendships must be “kept in re
pair.” Foolish and almost wicked
is that man who by boorishly of
fending his fellowmen, or by
neglecting the thoughtful words and
acts that cultivate friendship, drives
men away from him. “He that
hath friends must show himself
friendly” (Prov. 18:24). Consider
the admonition of our Lord in Luke
16:8, 9, where he urges the righteous
use of even our worldly possessions
to cultivate eternal friendships.
Read what Jonathan did in I Sam.
18:3-5, only one of his many loving
and thoughtful acts.
11. Courteous (v. 8).
David asked thst Jonathan deal
kindly with him, and the entire
story reveals that he did just that,
always. More friendships are
wrecked on the rocks of little dis
courtesies than in almost any other
way.
We live in an age which affects an
outward veneer of culture but which
is at heart often thoughtless and un
kind. Let Christian men and women
be courteous. They should be as
followers of the gentle Jesus, and it
will bring them countless friends.
111. Candid (v. 9).
Friendships that last must be
built on absolute candor, not the
kind that delights in telling an un
pleasant truth, but one which
speaks the truth in love. Jonathan
told David the truth.
IV. Courageous (vv. 12, 13).
Jonathan was such a faithful son
that when the time of parting came
he stayed with his wicked father
rather than go with David, whom
he loved. But he was true to David
even though he knew it would incur
the wrath of his father if that friend
ship became known.
Things that cost us nothing are
usually “worth it.” Real friend
ship calls for sacrifice, standing by
in the night hours, sharing burdens,
loyal even though others may con
demn us for it.
V. Covenant Keeping (w. 16, 17).
Covenants entered into by solemn
treaties in our time are soon dis
carded as “scraps of paper.” People
make promises to one another that
they never intend to fulfill. Jonathan
and David made a covenant anfi
kept it. True friends do not violate
their loving agreements.
This matter of trickery and false
hood in life and business is one that
deeply troubles the writer of these
notes. He sees unmistakable evi
dence that this perverse spirit has
come into the precincts of the
church itself. We should have a re
vival of honesty in office, home,
state, and church.
